Vaal Dam

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On Sunday, we drove the 100kms to the Vaal Dam (reservoir), where Bruce's other sister, Linda, and her family live. Her husband, Jimmy, prepared a lovely lunch for the large family gathering.
Jimmy cooked the meal (oxtail stew with a dumpling topping) in a potjie (pronounced "poy-kee") placed in a charcoal pit. Simmering slowly for several hours, it was delicious.
South African men seem to use their hands to talk: Christian is no exception!
After lunch, Jimmy took us out for a boat trip on the dam.
   
The sunset was beautiful and gave some good photo opportunities.
We stayed at the dam for two nights, returning to Benoni on Tuesday.
